Some questions snd some observations
are addressed by the Springtown Pilot TO
THE GAZETTE as follows: Is the Fort
Worth Western to be built? If so, how
long before work will commence? The
people in this country are anxious, ready
and waiting to &c to work on it, or
some Of them will have TO seek work
elsewhere. TIE rosd can be built cheaper
now than in the spring. If the work will
start soon people will stay, for they say
this is the best country they ever lived in;
that the dry weather can not last always;
that with good seasons they would not give
this section for farming for any they
ever saw; thst there is the best water and
more of it by only digging g short dis
lance, and the best people the world cen
produce. On with the Fort Worth West
err, end the citizens of your city will be
heard to say when it is completed, "Why
didn't we build this road sooner,"
